This Word Document is the worksheet you will complete. You will need to follow the worksheet and keep your answers ON YOUR OWN PAPER. This is so you will have notes you can keep in your binder for poetry. Make sure you label each part of the notes.


Example: If the worksheet asks for a definition of "elephant," your paper should look like this:

Elephant: a pachyderm of the family Elephantidae, characterized by a long trunk and big ears

Your paper should NOT look like this:

a pachyderm of the family Elephantidae, characterized by a long trunk and big ears

...because in a month, you may not remember what word you were defining! So make sure you copy the TERM AND THE DEFINITION whenever asked.


Part I: You will explore the various elements of poetry. Part I asks you to write down the definitions of the elements of poetry as well as identify these elements in a selected poem.

Part II: Part II exposes you to various poetic forms (of genres of poetry). You must give identifying features of these poems on the worksheet.

Part III: A list of poets is given. You must use a search engine to find information about one poet from this list. Answer the questions on your worksheet.
